so lenglet is not going be available for the games leading up to the spurs match to build up his chemistry with the team while Vermaelen is. Would you guys play Lenglet or Vermaelen for spurs? I'm tempted to go with Vermaelen tbh as he's usually solid for us, but he didn't play a single minute this single... maybe sub him in for athletic at home?

Umtiti's block was necessary to prevent the break away and he got used to complaining without getting a yellow in the past. Experienced plays.
Lenglet's elbow was unnecessary nervous reaction when he had the full control of the ball. inexperienced play.

Both were stupid challenges, I'm worried none of our centerbacks seems to be in form they are doing stupid challenges, hopefully Valverde starts Vermaelen in the next games.

When CBs like Laporte and VVD cost 80M+, GK like Kepa and Alison costs around same amount I don't think that 35M is "way too much" for a 3rd CB. A bit overpriced but not that bad.
Liked his game before the red card, torn if it was deserved or not

Don't know if that was intentional or not but he left himself at the refs mercy with that wild elbow. Unfortunately for him and us the ref was strict and we were left with only 10 men.
All in all, it's quite hard to evaluate him from the half an hour he was on.
Anyway, I hope the same standards will apply to those fuckers in the capital. I'm especially looking at Ramos, Casemiro and Marcelo. Everyone knows they like to throw some wild elbows in every match. My guess is that the play won't even be stopped.

now i have seen the replay, that was a clear red. No doubt about it.
It's too unnatural to be unintentional
left footed CBs with an attitude

True.
And when the ref is Manzano, that can only lead to one thing. This guy can't wait for the slightest chance to do us.
But the ref had awarded that as a freekick against opponent untill the VAR prompted him to review for a possible red and IMO it was a solid red

Umtitti's second yellow, well, CBs need to foul sometimes, or think they need to foul. I won't hang him for that one. But, his first yellow, for dissent,CBs cannot afford these types of yellows, especially early in the game. For this position, the chances of a second yellow are just too high. So, I do blame Umtitti, but not severely.
Lenglet, he had less than one second of felonious impulse. That might be human, given the physical nature of his profession. But, inexcusable, especially that early in a game. He is young, in a position where experience is quite valuable. I'm not giving up on him, but this was a very bad one. No felonies on the field for any Barca player, ever, please. Barca is not Mourinho's Real Madrid. Ramos does stuff like this, much to his discredit. The team should fine Lenglet.
Now, Vermaelen has to be readied to start vs. Tot. I'd like to see him start alongside Pique in at least one of the next two games, assuming he is in good playing shape.
